Ben lives in Melbourne, Australia, with his wife and two children. He currently works at the Melbourne School of Theology as their eLearning Coordinator. He enjoys reading, writing, music and playing computer games in equal measures. He has an interest in the intersection between theology and the arts, and to that end has written a play based on the life of Saul, a musical based on the Biblical book of Esther, and a novel that is actually a thinly-disguised commentary on the book of Revelation (as he says, "If others can do it, so can I!") For those who might be interested, he lists C. S. Lewis, Peter Shaffer and Neal Stephenson as his literary inspirations. ...more

Anyone for a hard-copy?

It looks like I will be doing a small print-run of the The Ephesus Scroll. I'm not sure how many to do. So, please leave a comment if you might be interested in buying a copy...

This sci-fi heist novel has its moments. But I felt the environment was under-described, and not really different enough from today. It certainly didn't feel like another world. ...more

Having watched the TV series, this novel held no surprises plot-wise. But because of the writing style, and the character of Jackson Lamb (btw, Gary Oldman absolutely nailed it!), it was still a great read. I will definitely be checking out the rest ...more

Book of Night by Holly Black

It took a little while to get into this novel. But once I did, I found the characters interesting enough, and there was certainly no shortage of plot. It definitely became a page-turner, and I look forward to more in this series.

This novella has an interesting plot premise involving time travel; and the three different narrative perspectives works pretty well. But I'm assuming this novella was written in order to become a movie, and it's possible it would work better as a mo ...more

Solid, workmanlike murder mystery set in Domitian's Rome, with a strong female protagonist. I enjoyed the details of everyday life, and there were a couple of twists in the plot that were not too predictable. If I had one complaint, it's that the wri ...more

Not a bad sequel to "The Lies of Locke Lamora". The plot has its twists and turns; the nautical sections are certainly a nice addition; and there are some fun new characters. I imagine I will be reading book 3 at some point down the track. ...more
